Chapter 17
Wish
Entrance of a new being
…Her eyes widened to see something that would cause anyone to have a heart attack on the spot if shown by the cold-hearted Kazekage. It was a smile. Not just any smile, but a true happy smile. Alix smiled back, her eyes softening, showing every emotion she was feeling; even though she didn't really care.
"Thank you…" Alix's voice was just barely above a whisper as her eyes closed and let her head rest on his chest, her arms tightening around his chest lightly.
------------------------
She had given in that night, told herself that she did indeed love the Kazekage, Gaara. Though, it was fast she didn't mind. He was like her first love, but only a little bit more open and promised her things that she knew he would keep. She smiled lightly to herself, her eyes looking at her reflection in the mirror.
'Don't get too giddy. He'll leave you soon enough.'
Her eyes widened, eyes frantically looking around for the source of the talking. She looked into the room, MaiAki was fast asleep and facing the wall, all window's were closed as well as the door. She started to panic.
'I'm in your mind. Stop looking around and making yourself seem like an idiot.'
She took in a deep breath, closing her eyes. 'In… my mind…?'
'Yes, your mind. My name is Omen.'
'But.. Why are you in my mind?'
'Didn't you're village tell you? You're my host.'
'Host?'
'Yes. I am a demon. But I'm not really sealed in you. Just bound to your soul until my time with you is done. I'm here to protect and keep you safe. According to the one's who found me and shoved me in here.'
'But-!'
'It can't be possible? I've been with you since you were 3 years old, child. Remember the images you had when your parents were slaughtered, when Mike was attacked and left for dead? That was me."
Her eyes shot open pulling herself away from the mirror to sit on the toilet and put her hands on her head. 'That can't-- It was you.. Why did you show me these things!? Those eyes I saw before…'
'I showed them to you, because you would've freaked out anyways. And the eyes you saw are my eyes. Your granted with them until I am gone. They have extremely strong outcomes - even kill a person with just a glance.'
Her eyes started to shake as she stared at the floor. 'why didn't anyone tell me this?'
'They thought that if you knew, you'd awaken my powers.' The calm voice stopped, then sighed. 'As you could probably tell you attitude, and being cold to people would also be from me. It's a trait, so you should get used to randomly snapping at people.'
'Why would they tie you to me?'
'Your like that Gaara kid. More of a tool.'
'Gaara was a tool…?'
The voice sighed. 'Yes, Gaara was used a tool when he was younger. He was a demon container to the demon Shukaku - I'm sure you've heard of him.' Alix nodded. 'Well, because Gaara had a demon inside of him, he was called a monster and such; mistreated. Hence why he was cold, and his sexy eyes.'
'Sexy eyes? Excuse me, voice in my head, apparently named Omen; Back off.'
'Whoa, feisty. Protective already?' The voice just laughed
'I'm glad it's a female in my mind than a male…'
'You're going to love having me around, Child.'
------------------------------------------------
Gaara sighed. He had been stuck doing more paperwork than usual, and it was annoying the hell out of him. Like usual, he'd glare at the paper in front of him, waiting for them to sign and fill out themselves, but as always, they'd mock him and not do a damn thing. He sighed, his eyes closing, trying to get at least 5 minutes of rest before someone barged in.
It wasn't even 4 seconds before there was a knock on the door and someone opening it. Growling lightly, he opened his eyes and glared at the one who was disturbing him.
"Oh-kay then. I'll come back later." Alix. Shit.
"Alix, no need."
He watched as her eye brow raised up in question. His eyes scanned over her face, black circles from lack of sleep were obviously showing under her eyes. "Have you not slept?"
"Uh.. Erm, no, not really.. A lot of things going on right now."
"What things?"
He watched her face move into a position he knew all too well. She was talking or thinking to herself. His eyes narrowed.
"Can't say really."
Something was just off from her voice, and he was trying to figure out exactly what it was.
"Why not?"
"Like to ask questions a lot? I feel like I'm in a box getting questioned about a war…"
He caught it. Standing up from his desk he moved around the desk and started to walk towards her.
-----------------------
Watching him walk towards her, she thought he was going to murder her or something; but she managed to stay still and watch him.
'Maybe he'll fuck you right now.'
'God damn it Omen! Don't! I don't need mental images.. Stop!' Her eyes were twitching slightly as Gaara came to a stop in front of her. She took in a sharp intake of air.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing…"
"Really?"
He took a step closer to her, she took a step back. He took another, she took one back again and she found herself pressed against the door with the damned doorknob jamming into her back.
"Yeah. Really…" She paused, glaring at Gaara as he gave her a look of pure annoyance. "What!?"
"Your chakra's different, as well as the tone of your voice."
"…no it's not."
"Your hiding something, aren't you?"
"…uhm.. No?"
He glared, causing her to cower slightly.
"I can't tell you. Not right now… maybe soon; but me and MaiAki have to leave in a couple of days due to a message from Azure."
"Where are you going?" He seemed to be worried.
"Rain." She lied. She knew if she had said Sound, he would become worried. Sound and every other village wasn't on good terms, and if she had said Sound then he would restrict them from going and sending a message back to Azure, telling them that they couldn't… like they were children staying home from school because they were sick.
"Very well." He backed off and moved back to his desk.
"Sometimes, it's safer for one not to know what's exactly going on. Kazekage-Sama." Omen's voice came out of Alix's mouth before she turned and opened the door and walked out.
Gaara just stood there, looking back at the door.
